The Canucks have sent Dany Sabourin back to Manitoba for a conditioning stint, and have called up our local boy Wade Flaherty. Sabourin is not getting much playing time on the Canucks, and we never want to see him let in his first 2 shots EVER AGAIN! So it will be good for him to get some action in Manitoba.

Thrashers D Garnet Exelby (still one of the coolest names in hockey) has been diagnosed with mononucleosis...poor b*****d! That's the illness where you lay in bed all day and watch the tube.

Jonathan Cheechoo is day to day with a leg injury.

Nikolai Khabibulin could play in his first game tonight since October 21.

Word is that Ken Hitchcock will be interviewed for the coaching job in Columbus next week. It would have been earlier, but apparently Hitchcock is stuck in a Burger King parking lot somewhere. (yeah, I am not a nice person!)
